Michael Jenkins was held out of Monday's practice with a foot issue, but an MRI revealed no structural damage.
"Molasses Mike" will likely be fine for Week 12, though he could miss some practice time. Jenkins' 30.7 yards per game are his lowest since his rookie year in 2004.

Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings

Percy Harvin (ankle) was absent from Monday's practice.
It was just an informal session coming off the Vikings' bye week, but it's still not a good sign. The real test will come when the Vikings return to official practice on Wednesday, but if you were expecting a drama-free week from your WR1, this is evidence you're probably not going to get it. We still ultimately expect Harvin to suit up against the Bears.

WE TRUST V4LB!!! HE IS THE GREATEST GUY IN OUR FOURM.
WITHOUT HIM OUR FOURM WOULDNT BE EXCITING.
HE GETS ALL THE WOMEN!!!!
HE IS NEVER WRONG!!!
WE TRIED TO VOTE FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT BUT HE IS SO GREAT THAT HE WOULDNT RUN FOR OFFICE

Coach Leslie Frazier conceded Monday that Percy Harvin's left ankle is still "sore and pretty tender" coming off the Vikings' Week 11 bye.
"Most of the swelling is gone," Frazier said. "It's just sore and pretty tender right now. So, we'll see how he feels when we come back on Wednesday." Immediately after suffering the injury, Harvin described it as a sprain in three separate places. He did not practice on Monday. "No setback," Frazier insisted. "Just hasn't made enough progress to put him out there yet. ... I was hoping that he would have been ready to go and get a little work (Monday), but that wasn't the case."

I truly feel we shouldn't risk him coming back too early. If Harvin isn't at 100% it is dangerous for him to be out there cuz he won't be himself and more prone to something getting hurt. Long term, not short term.

I think we would be safe letting Harvin and Wright split reps for a week until Harvin is 100% ready to go. The Vikings could also be exaggerating the extent of Percy's injury to hopefully get an advantage against the Bears D.

Has anyone heard any progress on Greg Childs(WR) recovery,,how is he doing?

I don't think we see him till the 2014 season, Maybe. Don't forget it took him 2 years to recover from the first. Hopefully AP can help him train and recover in the offseason (clearly he knows Exactly what to do).

Anyone else wish we would have picked up Denario Alexander and waited out his injury.

Also hoping Frazier is growing up as a coach and keeping Harvin's health close to vest. He should be saying "I don't think I want to risk rushing him back early". Bears have alot to worry about with gettin cutler back, letting them gameplan without considering Harvin and running him out the tunnel would be a nice advantage.
